Will Ariza Finish His Tenure as a Rocket ?

Trevor Ariza is not effecient. He will not play all 5 years here, no way.

 

I think the rockets should trade him as soon as possible. His value is declining.

 

I guess you noticed the play also where Ariza spent a good three seconds with his hands in the "WTF?" position because Brooks didn't get him the ball to him when he liked even though Ariza was just standing 3 feet behind the arc with his man guarding him.

More class from Ariza.

 

I hope not.

When I think of him I don't think of a "Rocket"

 

he'll be here for the next few years. i don't think anyone really wants him now unless it's a contender looking for a 5th or 6th option.

 

I hope not, I have already seen all of him that I want. I can't think of one good reason he should be starting now. He makes Rafer look like a hot shooter.

 

Hey lets write off someone before half of his first season is over with because I am the average Clutch forumer. I frequently jump on bandwagons and overreact to everything. I usually suggest trading a player when the Roxs are struggling and start threads suggesting to trade a player 5 minutes after tip off.

In all seriousness though, it's way too early to well. As of late, there has has been no doubt that Ariza has decreased his shots and improved in rebounding and assists. It's naive to think Ariza can't make improvements to become a solid role player worthy of MLE status. It's much more appropriate to judge him based on how he finishes the season. But hey, this is an internet forum.

 

The odds are probably against Ariza's long-term stay. It will obviously depend on how well he adapts to his role when Yao returns.

Or how much Aaron and Landry get sick of force-feeding him the ball when they have something better going.

 

I'm willing to give him the chance as an off the bench role player or starting lineup player with plenty of offensive weapons around him that can create. If that doesn't work then no, I don't want him around. Trade him to a contender and see what we can get.

 

Spot on.

 

Ariza was a key piece to the Lakers championship last year but he is not Kobe. I see nothing wrong with his playing style if we had a number 1 scoring option. Ariza is doing too much but I guess he has no choice, since the coach and GM gave him the "green light". The major problem I do see is Battier, Chuck, and Ariza on the court at the same time.

 

Not really sure where this is coming from. I agreed with the poster stating that ClutchFans is generally a bag of mixed, always changing emotions.

But I do agree that Bud warrants more minutes with his productions and that those minutes should be taken from Ariza.

 

Budinger is a offensive player only. His defense is pretty bad and good teams will use that to their advantage.

 

Not true, his D has been pretty good this year.

DD

 

NO he isn't. That is what everyone said going into the season, but I have been impressed by his D. It hasn't been any worse than Ariza's

 

Are you freakin kidding me? Did this guy really start a thread to trade Ariza after 32 games? Get the F*** outta here with this garbage thread. With the roster we have do you really think we are contenders or something? We are starting a 6'5 C with no offense and a SF who averages only 5 shot attempts per game. How in the HE** do you expect us to beat the better teams in the league? Get real people. Coming into this season we all KNEW what to expect. Now all of a sudden we win a few games and we are supposed to be title contenders who are underachieving so you mad!

Ariza and brooks are doing what was expected of them this year. Try to expand their games. I dont hear you whining about brooks not averaging 9 or 10 assists. He was supposed to be working on creating for others. He is still struggling with that. Wanna trade him to?

Somebody please close this stupid a** thread! This is dumb.
